Andrew Campolattano, one of the most successful wrestlers in New Jersey high school history, is facing felony drug charges in Columbus, Ohio, according to online reports.

Campolattano, a 2011 Bound Brook High graduate who wrestled the last two seasons at Ohio State, was among 16 people named last Friday in a roundup conducted by Ohio State University Police and the Franklin County Drug Task Force, according to NBC4I.com in Ohio.

Campolattano is no longer a member of the Ohio State wrestling team, according to Gayle Saunders, the school's assistant vice president for media and public relations. He has not been on the team since March, Saunders said.

NBC affiliate WCMH-TV reported on Friday that Campolattano, 21, and 15 others, all but one aged 19-21, face felony drug charges. According to WCMH, a total of 25 undercover narcotics buys and the purchase of an assault rifle were conducted during the roundup, with a total value of approximately $13,500.

WCMH reported that the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests could be made.

Campolattano left Ohio State last week but he has not officially withdrawn from the school. He is currently staying on Orlando, Fla., with his older brother, Michael Campolattano.

"My brother is not a drug dealer," Michael Campolattano said. "My brother has zero background of ever getting in trouble. He’s never even gotten a speeding ticket. He’s a good kid. He works really hard.

"We’re working on things. Anything that are facts, he’s going to figure out and face and anything that’s false we’re going to fight."

Campolattano was the second wrestler after Mike Grey (2006) of Delbarton to win four New Jersey state championships. He left Bound Brook with state records for victories and pins after finishing 175-1 with 116 pins. He originally committed to play football for Rutgers before deciding on Ohio State for wrestling. He was the starting 197-pounder for the Buckeyes this past season.

"The team situation I’m not sure about," Michael Campolattano said. "He is essentially not wrestling right now, I’ll tell you that."

Campolattano qualified both years for the NCAA Championships and fell one victory short of earning All-America status as a freshman. This past season, Campolattano finished 17-12 and lost his first match at the NCAA tournament.

According to nbc4i.com, members of the task force and OSU PD began investigating drug suppliers and dealers in the campus area that had been selling or distributing drugs from April 2012 to April 2013. A total of 25 undercover narcotics buys and the purchase of an assault rifle were conducted during the roundup, the site reported.

The estimated total street value of the drugs and the assault rifle seized is $13,530, according to the sheriff's office, the site reported.

The site also reported that detectives discovered an alarming trend in which undercover detectives purchased "synthetic molly," which is known on the street as Ecstasy. During a laboratory test, results revealed the drug was actually a variation of bath salts, according to the sheriff's office. It is unknown how many students ingested the bath salts, thinking it was Ecstasy, according to the website.
